"The debut album of the young Glasgow-based trio of Charlie Stewart (fiddle), Rufus Huggan (cello) and Luc MacNally (guitar and vocals). Stewart won Young Traditional Musician of the Year at Celtic Connections 2017 ... Snuffbox mix Scottish traditional tunes with original material ... Snuffbox inevitably invite comparison with the work of fiddler Alasdair Fraser and cellist Natalie Haas, whose five albums (...) have sought to restore the cello to its historical role within Scottish traditional music. But Snuffbox are doing something different ... These young men are a product of Glasgow's vibrant and boundary-stretching traditional music scene, and they have created a style that brings some of that city's multi-faceted musicality to the Perthside fiddle/cello tradition of Niel and Nathaniel Gow".
